Hi, I've been using GTK3 based gretl for years - without any problems. Recently, I decided to move from the very old X11 graphics to Wayland and I encountered the following two problems: 1. Drag-and-drop actions don't work (neither for scripts nor data). 2. Clipboard is one-directional: I can copy raw text from the operating system to gretl, but I cannot copy enything from gretl to operating system (scripts, results). I checked GTK2 and everything is ok. I'm using current git version. Marcin

I don't think this is a gretl issue. Try googling "gtk3 wayland drag and drop" for a number of problem reports. At least you should be using the very latest gtk3, but even then it could be "work in progress" on the gtk side. (I for one am not at all ready to discard Xorg's X11 implementation in favor of Wayland. X11 is old, stable and extremely well tested. Wayland, not so much.)

Of course more testing needed, but I at least I don't face problems I had on September. Marcin
